Caravan owners looking forward to a summer of weekend breaks may be interested in the Caravan Club's breakdown and recovery service.

Known as Mayday, it is operated by Green Flag and operates 24-hours a day year round, covering cars, motorhomes, touring caravans and trailer tents.

The scheme recently renamed its comprehensive and double journey cover toRoadside & Recovery and Dual Recovery respectively.

"We believe the new naming convention better describes the insurance cover provides," explained the Caravan Club's head of insurance and financial services Lesley Coell.

"The change provides clarity for new and existing policyholders."

Roadside & Recovery will attempt to fix the vehicle by the road and get it to a destination of the driver's choice anywhere in the UK.

The Dual Recovery package sees customers taken to their holiday site and the vehicle repaired in time for the return trip if possible. If not, the vehicles are taken back home after the trip.

Meanwhile, the Caravan Club recently celebrated 50 years of its Certified Locations scheme.
